Now if you go through the trailer you can see a deployable shield/barrier through which Banglore was shooting. That deployable shield/barrier can be considered Rampart’s Tactical ability. As far as her passive goes, we think it is related to modding weapons on the battlefield like crafting attachments or such.

Season 6 Battle Pass

The battle pass for season 6 is not updated yet. However, we know that it is called “boosted” and offers a new wave of legendaries, emotes, and much more. The official description is as follows-

Over 100 exclusive items including Legendary skins, Apex Packs, new Holo-Sprays, and more!

The new theme of the game focuses on a set of vibrant colors, for example- pink. And, with the addition of Holo-Sprays, we can say why the developers choose such a theme. Using the new Holo-Spray player might be able to make Graffitis and such.
